here is a prime example of someone - a super talented artist - whose time was short on this earth - dead by his early 30's - but he sure was prolific in his way too short life in which he left us with so much quality art!

shout out to the Bay Area's Dave Paul for all of his contributions - via his various BOMB productions (including record label) - to music…..A true visionary, pioneer, and all round nice humble guy too!

more new stuff…as per the Bill Cosby drink reference….I get lots of new music…..and listen to it all…..this one I like except for the hopk which is too poppy…..otherwise good track…while listening to new music I just go by my first instinctive reaction to it…… sometimes I miss good stuff….sometimes not….but mostly I find when I go back and listen to the tracks I picked out - I generally still like them as much later

Fri. 7/31/15 3:05pm
Billy Jam:
hey Brownwyn B, Chris, Loop, Cecile - thanks for joining the show today…..gonna be music heavy and good IMO - Let me know if the levels sound off (too loud at any point) here on the comments - thanks guys - and give a big shout out to Mighty Grouse for engineering for 3 hours today

♥
Fri. 7/31/15 3:12pm
chris:
Thanks, Mighty Grouse! We owe you at least one ___! You fill in the blank.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:12pm
loop skywalker:
levels sound on point :)

Fri. 7/31/15 3:12pm
Billy Jam:
TIME is the topic of today (and everyday of our lives when u think about it)……..If I could control time, and time travel I would go back a few years and spend one more quality day with my dad…….then I would go back and visit others dear to my heart who have passed on…..BUt then I would start time traveling to meet all my other heroes…..like zap back to 1981 to meet up with Bambaataa or 73 to meet up with Kool Herc (both previous guests - recent era - on this show)

Fri. 7/31/15 3:16pm
Billy Jam:
so with TIME being the topic O day - I ask you A: does time run faster now for you than few years ago? Do you value time more now? If you could time travel where/when would you go?

Fri. 7/31/15 3:17pm
Billy Jam:
OH yeah I'd go back to when I first started out in radio in early 80's when the FCC wasmnt so damn restrictive…..no curses edits needed in 1984

Fri. 7/31/15 3:19pm
Bronwyn Bishop:
A song about the year I was born! Yay!!!

♥
Fri. 7/31/15 3:20pm
chris:
i def value time more now that i did last year or back even further. and it does seem to move a bit faster all the time. going back in time to spend more time with my pa would be awesome. i spend a lot of time these days trying to run toward what i value, rather than running away from what scares me, as i did in my youth

Fri. 7/31/15 3:20pm
Bronwyn Bishop:
A. Yes time goes too fast these days. I feel like last week I was 18 but that was three years ago and now I'm an old maid.
B: Yes I value time more now because I don't have much youth left.
C: No question, I would visit the 60s and possibly stay there forever. I just wasn't made for these times, man. *takes bong hit*

Fri. 7/31/15 3:21pm
loop skywalker:
Man,time actually is going way faster now im old.Id love time to stand still right now because my son is getting too close to that horrible time when he may fly the nest (he is 15 but university is only 3 years away) i do everything i do now to spend as much time as i can with him as he is my absolute number 1..so yeah,,,a time freezing machine for me please Billy Jam .

Fri. 7/31/15 3:22pm
Cecile:
Bronwyn, I didn't listen when people told me that when I was 21, but you really are still young.

And a wise old DJ bud told me, "the era you are in is the era you're in."

Fri. 7/31/15 3:23pm
Bronwyn Bishop:
Thanks Cecile. I feel old because us women are generally told we're at our most attractive when we're 17-19. I still felt like a child then. And in a lot of ways I'm glad I'm around now and not then, because back in my beloved 60s I probably would have ended up a housewife. I still romanticize them, though.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:24pm
Benny in BK:
I sure value more time now than when I was a kid.....I value life so much I sleep less....will do that when I'm dead LOL

Fri. 7/31/15 3:26pm
Cecile:
Disabuse yourself of that notion. remember the old line :pretty is as pretty does. It's corny but true.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:26pm
spodiodi:
Good advice for anyone, Chris (your last line of your last comment)

Fri. 7/31/15 3:26pm
Cecile:
I felt old at 21 because in a lot of ways I was precocious. Then suddenly I wasn't.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:36pm
Bronwyn Bishop:
Yeah no one around here ever knows how to pronounce it. It's really popular in Australia though. Fun fact: I have the same first AND last name as the Australian speaker of the house and thus I always get tweets from angry Australians.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:37pm
Cecile:
When I was down there, I knew three Antheas.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:37pm
Cheri Pi:
Is that her name? It's nice hearing her calm, steady voice in between songs on the Spin concert LPs.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:38pm
steve:
Bronwyn - i'd like to report from the future that, if you're super motivated and do what you want with your life, you never get old. (pretty happy guy in his 30s who teaches kids your age)

Fri. 7/31/15 3:40pm
Cecile:
it might be. it's her or another person whose name I don't remember

Fri. 7/31/15 3:40pm
P-90:
Yo Billy Jam and all, still getting used to this new time for this show. Coincidence:(or not) i've been thinking about time a lot lately and how it passes in our lives. So this show is right "on time" for me personally.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:41pm
Billy Jam:
If I could go back in time I'd go back to a month before each major power move by Mark Zuckerberg and I would create "BassBook" - a free (really free and non intrusive) social media network for BASS heads……and hip-hop fans

Fri. 7/31/15 3:42pm
Billy Jam:
someone recently (I think at WFMU - maybe Irene Trudel) was telling me about how she saw Patti Smith at a speaking event and someone asked her if she could change anything in her life what would it be - expecting it to be something about her creative output…But she said - and it is good advice - the most important thing is to take care of your teeth

Fri. 7/31/15 3:43pm
loop skywalker:
what are you going to Study Cecile?

Fri. 7/31/15 3:44pm
Cecile:
graphic design
Billy, I have to say that's good advice. I have good solid teeth, but had one root canal. I can't imagine people who have multiple ones, and gingivitis and other stuff...and it costs a fortune!

Fri. 7/31/15 3:44pm
Cecile:
I actually only have a couple of classes to finish up a certificate.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:48pm
Cecile:
I want to be in a convertible pounding back a brew right about now. to this very song

Fri. 7/31/15 3:48pm
dude!:
if i could change something in my life it would be not waste time worrying over silly shit that didnt matter or never happened.....being too cautious and over thinking every single step and (sometimes) ignoring my gut feelings on decisions in life

Fri. 7/31/15 3:48pm
ADA:
I'm back! I've been listening from my phone on 3G on my walk to get the best damn tacos ever. sounds good! checking in here, heavy topic... time moves faster now. I wish I had more time with my sister who left our physical realm in 2008 at the tender age of 13. I feel her presence more than ever though, but to have more time with her - I wish I did, to show her more about music especially.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:50pm
dude!:
@ ADA sorry for you loss - it is so tough when someone leaves us early on.......am dealing with that still

Fri. 7/31/15 3:50pm
loop skywalker:
ADA so sad to hear that..we are all learning a lot about each other tonight.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:54pm
Billy Jam:
Speaking of TIME….It's 420 somewhere and 419 somewhere else…..…..even tho in Cali is now 1255 - but that will work for me - that time is timely TIMES….Good Times At FMU High-

Fri. 7/31/15 3:54pm
ADA:
yeah man, especially when it was all over the news in a terrorist attack. They killed my stepdad too. Alan and Naomi, Mumbai 2008. always remembered, they are eternal now.

Fri. 7/31/15 3:55pm
Philthy woman:
nice chambers brothers manipulations,
I love that song, used to end all my shows with it

well said loop.
love and empathy to you ADA.
love is free from the constraints of time

Fri. 7/31/15 3:56pm
Billy Jam:
just the other day I had one of those moments where a really funny thing happened to me that my (late great) father would have gotten a big laugh out of…..and absentmindedly I forget he was dead and was about to hit him up on the phone…….Guess that was in back of my mind - along with all these new TIME songs - for today's show theme

Fri. 7/31/15 3:58pm
ADA:
certainly put it all in perspective. live the moment, live your dreams, all that stuff... gotta go for it, this time here is all we have.

Fri. 7/31/15 4:20pm
Billy Jam:
@ Chris - me too……its funny listening to certain era records now - like big rock records - and you hear how incredibly well they are produced ----- I like it but I also like rough rugged and raw recordings that leave in the mistakes in the studio - ones that in time become non-mistakes and part of a unique piece of art

Fri. 7/31/15 4:23pm
steve:
this summer i took most of my vacation time and spent it in new jersey with my aging parents! probly seems weird to the average person but im real glad i got in a week of quality time with my folks.

Fri. 7/31/15 4:31pm

marc:
Hey Billy, it's good to see you back on a three hour show

Fri. 7/31/15 4:50pm
Billy Jam:
thanks marc - am really enjoying it myself….and while although it is a lot more prep (editing curses/research etc) it si much more rewarding to get into a long 3 hour mix

Fri. 7/31/15 4:52pm
Studio B Ben:
We've set a record number of 90+ degree days for summertime in Portland this year, but that's still not as hot as the Billy Jam 3 hour summer show has been.

Fri. 7/31/15 5:13pm
spidermank:
right in this with you ADA bigtime mix , bang on

Fri. 7/31/15 5:14pm
Billy Jam:
great mix ADA - thanks for creating this for WFMU - we appreciate it mane~ >>>>>
So the plan for tonight is that I record the set at Elbo Room by The Genie (the "scratch guitar" pioneer that was live performance guest on this show before) - maybe some other acts sets too…..And upcoming next week - with curation assistance from SF emcee/activist Dregs One am planning a live cypher session with (tentatively) Telli Prego, Richie Cunning, and Lightbulb along with Dregs plus (maybe) his buddy DJ Yelir from Children of the Funk laying down some wicked beats down. In this scenario I would record (that way I can edit out curses before airplay) - only six weeks left in this 3 hour series

ADA:
these days though, I"m more focused on making music that lasts beyond the club. So I like making mixes and concept albums mostly, but def open to DJ anything that's dope!

Fri. 7/31/15 5:35pm
Billy Jam:
hey Chris - we should do a SF/BAY WFMU meet up while I am in CA - maybe record for radio show - or do it live radio show / meet up - Would you be able to make it at this time? Or would eves be better for all u think?

♥
Fri. 7/31/15 5:44pm
chris:
given enough time to plan, i can step outta work... can meet whereever you're recording! would love that shit, Billy Jam!

Fri. 7/31/15 5:45pm

Been playing UK wordsmith Kate Tempest every week for past seven or so weeks - highlights of her "Everybody Down" album - this is the last one I think of my picks - she is such an engaging story teller….love her style

Time keeps going slower the older I get, because I keep getting better at savoring what isn't coming back, and ignoring the bad. So I guess I value time more, but in a different way, it's no longer a resource, just opportunities. If I could time travel, I'd go to the future, because the one thing I'd like to witness is equality (especially gender equality). We've made progress, but we're still so far I'm not going to see that day without a time machine
